Hi y'all! Bowser again.

In this devlog, I plan to accomplish a few things:

• Release the Content Creator Edition of ChoPro, Build 4.4
• Release the standard ChoPro Build 4.4
• List off some errata and other retroactive fixed I did for this build.

Starting with the first thing. The ChoPro Content Creator Edition is meant to deliver the ChoPro experience in a way that works best for YouTubers and Twitch streams.

This version features:

• No porn, no bodily fluids, no nudity.
• Skippable sex scenes.
• Substitute cropped images for the regular sex scenes.

Please proceed with caution when showing this to an audience.

• Underwear bulges, sexually suggestive imagery, and sexually explicit text are still present.
• This is not "SFW". The game is still for 18+ audiences only.

Content creators, if you'd like to preview the images that will be featured in this version of the Content Creator Edition, please scroll to the bottom of this post. Also CHECK HERE to see the rest of the substitute images featured in the previous CCE.

Alright, with that out of the way, let's talk about what's different in 4.4. I'll just tackle it bit-by-bit in no particular order.

Change to unlocking Darrell route.

• In previous builds, you needed to acquire two "Darrell points" to unlock his route.
• There are three opportunities to gain Darrell points.
  • Wearing the "edgy" outfit.
  • Pregaming at Pat & Cliff's apartment.
  • Going with Darrell to the hot wings truck.
• Now, you only need to earn one Darrell point to unlock his route.
• I think by requiring the player to earn two points, it was too obtuse. At the end of the day, I'm not trying to create a difficult dating sim. I'd rather players easily find the routes they're looking for.

First two conversations with Cliff have changed.

• The content of the conversations remain the same. However, I went through and trimmed out all the unnecessary dialogue.
• I also restructured the way Cliff spoke those lines to sound more like "him." During the early writing stages of ChoPro, I didn't quite find Cliff's voice. He cursed much more often and said some things that I have now realized are out of character for the capybara.
• I wouldn't advise ChoPro fans to revisit these conversations for the sake of seeing what's new. There's no new info. The conversations were just restructured, and the fat's been trimmed.

The nude encounter with April is different.

• The encounter has been shortened. I got rid of unnecessary text and scratched a joke that didn't land very well.
• I also removed a comment MC said regarding April not knowing what semen smells like. This led to speculation about Moriah's bottom surgery status. Just to be clear, Moriah's bottom surgery status is ambiguous. You, the reader, have no business knowing that. Just like with IRL trans people, you have no business knowing what's in their pants (unless they're inviting you to get inside them).
• Ultimately, this interaction did need a lot of trimming. I have a bad habit of wanting to over-explain things to the reader. It's something I'm working on.

Slight change during Pat & Darrell's conversation on Day 4.

• The new Karcenogen song we just debuted, FAFO, was first mentioned on Day 4.
• Pat now makes a passing comment about Darrell writing the lyrics and the solo.
• If you listen to FAFO's lyrics, they're a bit… pointed. It made sense that these lyrics would belong to Darrell and not Pat.

More voice acting on Day 1.

• There are some new April voice lines during the opening scene of the VN. Thought it'd be nice to fully voice act that whole interaction. Especially since I only needed to record two extra lines to make it work. Mel did a great job!

Changing the music pacing.

• For days 1-5, the music now changes more often. I noticed many scenes would have the same song lingering longer than necessary. So, I decided to go back and switch things up to make it more interesting.

On top of all this, I found some spelling/grammar errors to correct as well. Overall, this version is much more polished!

Alright, that does it for me. I'm very tired and I'm heading to FurTheMore tomorrow (March 8)! If you're going, let me know! I'll give you a ChoPro sticker 💖.

Here are the new images in the Content Creator Edition. That aside, stay safe, and take care, friends! 😸
